jmBoekestein,
I prolly won’t be able to get to your image til tomorrow sometime. 
~Plus, oddly, from home I can’t see it. Sorry about this…if it’s urgent, you can email it to me at the address listed on my website: rebeccak4@gmail.com.
Sorry for the hassle!
~Rebeccak
Wow, no worries Rebecca. That’s perfectly fine, no such hurry. 
Very big thanks for the offer though. I really appreciate it.
And don’t worry about it, it can wait really. It was a figure of speech… sounds odd :surprised
Lol, thanks jmB. From what I saw of it at work, it looked awesome!!! What was all that nonsense you were writing on another thread about ‘not being able to draw’? That’s insane, lol!!! 
~Rebecca
Well… y’eh’ no… :surprised… ok I can draw.
I tried freehand painting a while back… that didn’t uh… go as expected. I’ll get the hang of it though, it’s like swimming, you don’t learn untill someone pushes you in the water and makes you. Lol, I’m keepin at it anyway, great fun.
I’ll post it in your anatomy workshop too. It suits the topic.
Ok the plan for now is to move the shoulders a bit upwards and thereby shortening the neck. I think this’ll work best because the rest of her body measures up in the 8 heads guides, for the better part at least.
jm,
Right now my main critique would be that her bottom is rather enormous in comparison to her upper torso (rib cage). Relative to the rib cage, the pelvis is about 1/2 the size or even less ( in terms of height). I think the shoulders look a bit narrow and the head a tad too oblong…
But the drawing quality is pretty sweet! 
~Rebeccak
Hmm thx… The head being too oblong is a problem since it will seem more narrow with parallax effect, I’ll probably widen it a bit.
I stole somebody elses reference of a body here on cgtalk, I hope that’ll help. Looks like you’re right on all accounts.
Thanks. I’m going to look into it now, maybe keep some things I’m not sure. I want it fiished relatively soon, but better do it right though.
jm,
Hey, good luck with this, I know you know what you’re doing…please post your updated results, should be really cool!
~Rebeccak
Will do!
I’m going over the reference now. Upper part of the hip is definitely too wide, that creates the illusion of the undefined areas looking smaller, I should try and add more shading effects to her.
Will keep you posted.
jm,
Coolness! It’s hard for me to see the specific differences without overlapping them, so give me a bit o’ time and I’ll jimmie up a comparison…
~Rebeccak
Ok, thanks a lot Rebecca!!! You’re a great help to me. 
Oh I’ll put up the reference I found for the adjustements I made… Upper body isn’t that strong, but the lower body’s fine. I shoud maybe fine tune the legs too, not really sure. Any idea’s.
I’m not copying this ref… just in case.
jm,
Ok, here is the tiniest of reviews…it’s totally a judgement call on your part, and, as always, just a suggestion:

Thanks rebecca! I think I see your point.
But could you elaborate a bit on which part seems off, or is it the lower body in general?
jm,
I think her buttocks were still too big relative to her upper torso/rib cage, and her legs looked a bit longish also ~ so basically all I did was to shrink her buttocks and legs slightly to try to bring them more in line proportionally to the rest of her body. Like I say, it’s a judgement call, and you’re free to take this with a grain of salt.
~Rebeccak
Ok thanks!
I’ll have a go at it, I don’t think the hips are a big issue allthough not too athletic, it’s nice to see. (as long as she doesn’t look like the wrong kind of nuclear baby)
Thanks again. Great stuff.
The elbows in the front view need some adjustment.
Right now you flare the forearms out symmetrically at the elbow. This gives the forearm a wooden mannequinn aspect.
You should flare the inner part of the elbow pretty much where it is. A bunch of flexors originate at the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
HOWEVER…

You should push the outer flare of the forearm UP so that it is ABOVE the elbow. Muscles like the brachioradialis originate above the epicondyles, actually on the humerus itself.
It looks like you’ve eased this correction into the latest drawings without mentioning it, but you are doing it more with one arm than with the other. I’d suggest ghosting in an axis where you think the elbow bend actually would occur, and make sure the muscle masses sit outside/high inside/low with respect to that axis.
